Definitions
- This invention relates to a multiple gear ratio transmission device to connect an engine to a load such as a motor vehicle.
- a transmission device of this type is known in which an upper shaft, connected to the engine, can be selectively connected to one of two countershafts by means of one or the other of two clutches.
- Each countershaft has idle gears with different diameters, with which said countershaft can be selectively coupled by means of dog-coupling or synchronisation devices.
- These idle gears permanently mesh with gears attached to a secondary shaft, which is shared by the two countershafts.
- a single idle gear is coupled to each countershaft, but one of the two countershafts does not transmit any power as it is rotating independently of the engine because its input clutch is uncoupled.
- controls couple or keep coupled to the deactivated countershaft the idle gear corresponding to the new gear ratio, and then the controls open the previously active input clutch and close the previously inactive input clutch, which simultaneously varies the rotating speed of the engine to adapt it to the rotating speed of the vehicle's wheels in accordance with the new gear ratio.
- This device recently installed on standard production vehicles, has been seen as a step forward for the user as the synchronisation time of the idle gear that has to be engaged or synchronised with its countershaft is no longer part of the period during which the transmission of power between the engine and the vehicle's wheels is interrupted.
- the device requires two input clutches instead of just one, two countershafts, highly complex control, great axial length of the device with almost no flexibility in terms of spatial design, very great weight and prohibitive expense.
- the known device does not directly allow for changing between two gear ratios that are defined by idle gears carried by the same countershaft.
- the object of this invention is to at least partly rectify these drawbacks and thus propose a transmission device that can be simpler to design and/or to control, less bulky and/or easier to configure in space, easier to automate and with more flexible control.
- the multiple gear ratio transmission device adapted to connect an engine to a load such as a motor vehicle, comprising:
- the function to activate the gear ratio and the function to adapt the speeds of the upper shaft and the lower shaft of the transmission device are grouped together in a single selective activator.
- control sequence is simplified and corresponds to a normal sequence in the known automatic transmissions, typically with deactivation of a friction coupling such as a brake or a clutch and synchronised activation of another friction coupling.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the transmission device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram similar to FIG. 1 , but with some additional details;
- FIG. 3 is a general schematic view of an example of a transmission device according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic end view of the device in FIG. 3 ;
- FIG. 5 is a diagram of another embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- the transmission device 1 is operatively mounted between an upper shaft 2 , which in the example is the power shaft of a motor vehicle engine 3 , and a lower shaft 4 , which in the example is shown as the input shaft in a differential 6 , the output shafts of which are the wheel shafts 7 of the vehicle.
- the transmission device 1 connects the upper shaft 2 to the lower shaft 4 by two power paths 8 a, 8 b mounted mechanically in parallel. There is a permanent mechanical link between the upper shaft 2 and a rotary input unit 9 a of the path 8 a , and between the upper shaft 2 and a rotary input unit 9 b of the path 8 b.
- a rotary output unit 11 a of the path 8 a and a rotary output unit 11 b of the path 8 b are permanently mechanically connected to the lower shaft 4 .
- these permanent connections are made by a gear 12 attached to the upper shaft 2 , meshing with input gears 13 a , 13 b rotatably attached to the input unit 9 a and 9 b respectively, and by a gear 14 which is attached to the lower shaft 4 and which meshes with output gears 16 a , 16 b attached to the output unit 11 a and 11 b , respectively, for common rotation therewith.
- the input gears 13 a and 13 b have different diameters so that the transfer ratio between the upper shaft 2 and the input unit 9 a in the first power path 8 a is different from the transfer ratio between the upper shaft 2 and the input unit 9 b in the second power transmission path 8 b .
- the output gears 16 a and 16 b have the same diameter.
- This solution allows for different gear ratios to be obtained in the first power path 8 a and the second power path 8 b even if they are identical as suggested by the example shown in FIG. 1 . It will however be seen below that the specific feature relating to the different transfer ratios is also of interest in situations where the two power transmission paths are not identical.
- the input gears 13 a, 13 b can have identical diameters and the output gears 16 a, 16 b different diameters. It is also possible for the input gears and the output gears to have different diameters.
- FIG. 1 shows, by analogy with a multiple position electric switch, that each of the power transmission paths 8 a and 8 b offers the possibility of choosing between three different gear ratios marked as Ia, IIa, IIIa and a neutral Na, and Ib, IIb, IIIb and Nb respectively.
- the gear ratio between the input and the output of a power transmission path 8 a or 8 b is hereafter referred to as the “local gear ratio”.
- the gear ratio of the transmission device in a given operating state corresponds to the local gear ratio in the path 8 a or 8 b that is not in a neutral position, as modified by the upper transfer ratio created by the upper gear 12 with the input gear 13 a or 13 b and the lower transfer ratio created by the output gear 16 a or 16 b with lower gear 14 .
- the local gear ratios of the two paths 8 a, 8 b can be identical from one path to the other, as the overall gear ratios will still be different due to the different transfer ratios.
- the two power transmission paths 8 a and 8 b can both have, as one of their local gear ratios, a direct drive ratio.
- the two power transmission paths 8 a, 8 b are subject to a shared control device 17 that synchronises the gear ratio changes in the two power transmission paths 8 a, 8 b.
- the control device 17 acts on a selective activator 18 a of the path 8 a and 18 b of the path 8 b .
- the activator 18 a selectively connects the input unit 9 a with one of the three mechanical paths Ia, IIa, IIIa leading to the output unit 11 a with a different local gear ratio, or with the neutral position Na corresponding to the cutting off of the transmission between the input unit 9 a and the output unit 11 a .
- the selective activator 18 b has the same function in the path 8 b as just described for the activator 18 a , provided that the (a) suffixes of the reference numbers are replaced by (b) suffixes.
- the two activators 18 a and 18 b are in their neutral positions Na and Nb respectively.
- the activator 18 a or 18 b of the path 8 a or 8 b with which the required gear ratio is associated is placed in the required position, for example IIa in the operating example in FIG. 1 in the path 8 a, while the activator, 18 b in the example shown in FIG. 1 , of the other transmission path, 8 b in the same example, is placed in its corresponding neutral position Nb.
- the power is transmitted via the transmission path 8 a with the required overall gear ratio and the path 8 b is inactive.
- each selective activator 18 a or 18 b is not merely a dog or synchroniser, which would only be capable of being engaged or disengaged without any load, but a coupling, typically a friction coupling and more particularly a wet multi-disc coupling, capable of modifying the rotating speed of the engine shaft in accordance with the rotating speed of the vehicle's wheels during gear ratio changes, and also capable, at least for a starting gear of the vehicle (for example Ia), of starting off the rotation of the lower shaft 4 and therefore the forward movement of the vehicle from a situation in which the vehicle is stationary.
- a starting gear of the vehicle for example Ia
- the new gear ratio to be engaged typically corresponds to the placing in neutral of the power transmission path that was initially active, and the activation of a gear ratio in the power path that was initially in neutral.
- the control device 17 synchronises the actuation of the two activators 18 a, 18 b to minimise jerks and the period during which the transmission of power to the vehicle's wheels is interrupted. If necessary, the control device 17 can also be connected to the electronic management system of the engine 3 to regulate the engine power during the gear ratio change process.
- gear ratio change process it is also possible for a gear ratio change process to consist of changing from one local gear ratio to another in the same power transmission path, with the other power transmission path remaining in neutral.
- the example shown in FIG. 2 differs from the example shown in FIG. 1 only in that the selective activators 18 a and 18 b have been replaced by a specific activator for each local gear ratio that can be obtained, namely 118 a, 218 a, 318 a, 118 b, 218 b, 318 b.
- These activators are shown as couplings, still as an example. Neutral is no longer shown as it is obtained by placing the three selective activators in the same power transmission path, for example 8 b in the example shown, in an uncoupled state.
- the control device 17 determines the state of each of the selective activators so that when the vehicle is running, one of the selective activators is always in a coupled state and all of the others are in an uncoupled state, with gear ratio changes being achieved by uncoupling the activator that was coupled until then, and switching another of the activators that was previously uncoupled to a coupled state, in a synchronised manner.
- Deactivation of the “old” activator can be progressive during progressive activation of the “new” activator in a sense that the driver of the vehicle will feel no interruption of the transmission of power to the wheels of the vehicle.
- the two power transmission paths 8 a and 8 b are kinematically independent of each other, apart from of course the fact that their input units 9 a, 9 b mesh with the same upper gear 12 and their output units 11 a, 11 b mesh with the same gear 14 on the lower shaft 4 .
- This specific feature distinguishes the invention from the transmission device of the prior art, in which both power paths pass through the same secondary shaft.
- each power transmission path 8 a or 8 b comprises a planetary gear train mechanism, for example of the type that will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 5 .
- FIG. 4 illustrates the possibility of having at the corners of a quadrilateral the drive shaft or upper shaft 2 , the lower shaft 4 diagonally opposite, and the two geometric axes 21 a and 21 b, also diagonally opposite, of the two paths 8 a and 8 b.
- the paths 8 a and 8 b have a differentiated structure to allow for better spacing of the gear ratios of the transmission device as a whole.
- the power path 8 a comprises around a single shared geometric axis 21 a in a housing 22 (partially shown), a first planetary gear train 123 a and a second planetary gear train 223 a , which respectively comprise:
- the planet carriers 124 a , 224 a rotatably hold planet pinions 128 a , 228 a that are eccentric relative to the general axis 21 a , and each one of which meshes with the corresponding sun gear 126 a or 226 a and the corresponding ring gear 127 a or 227 a.
- the first planet carrier 124 a is attached to the input unit 9 a and to the second sun gear 226 a .
- the output unit 11 a is attached to the second planet carrier 224 a and to the first ring gear 127 a.
- the selective activators comprise:
- the output 11 a and its output gear 16 a are located between on the one hand the two planetary gear trains 123 a , 223 a and on the other hand the selective coupling 218 a .
- the output unit 11 a is tubular and surrounds a shaft 29 a connecting the clutch 218 a with the second sun gear 226 a . It can be seen from the drawing that the output 11 a could have been placed between the planetary gear trains, or the first ring gear 127 a could have been extended to the right beyond its current end 31 a , thereby to carry there the output gear 16 a which would then be axially juxtaposed to the input gear 13 a near an axial end of the path.
- the selective activators 118 a, 218 a, 318 a are activated by hydraulic pistons 32 (see activator 318 a ) which are annular around the general axis 21 a, and behind which is formed an annular chamber 33 for the pressurised oil, on the side remote from the discs 34 .
- the pressurised oil is carried into the corresponding chamber 33 by ducts 36 of the housing.
- the activator 218 a which is a clutch
- the pressurised oil arrives in the corresponding chamber (not shown) through a duct (not shown) formed in the shaft 29 a.
- the first local gear ratio which is a local reduction ratio
- the brake 118 a is obtained by activating the brake 118 a, thus immobilising the second ring gear 227 a, and the power is transmitted from the input unit 9 a to the output unit 11 a by the second planetary gear train 223 a .
- the brake 318 a and the clutch 218 a are released and the gears 126 a, 127 a, 128 a of the first planetary train 123 a are idling.
- the two brakes 118 a, 318 a are disengaged and the clutch 218 a is engaged, so that the power is transmitted by the clutch 218 a from the input 9 a to the output 11 a while all planetary gears 126 a, 127 a, 128 a, 226 a , 227 a, 228 a are idling.
- the clutch 218 a is disengaged and the brake 318 a is engaged, with the brake 118 a still being disengaged.
- the first sun gear 126 a is now immobilised and the power is transmitted from the input unit 9 a to the output unit 11 a by means of the first planetary gear train 123 a operating as an overdrive gear, i.e. a gear causing the output unit 11 a to rotate at a higher speed than the input unit 9 a .
- the gears 226 a , 227 a , 228 a of the second planetary gear train 223 a are idling.
- the path 8 b also contains two planetary gear trains 123 b and 223 b , but the planet pinions are mounted in pairs 128 i and 128 e, 228 i and 228 e , each pair forming a mechanical series between the sun gear 126 b or 226 b and the ring gear 127 b or 227 b.
- the two ring gears 127 b and 227 b are attached to each other and to the output unit 11 b .
- the first planet carrier 124 b is attached to the input unit 9 b and to the second sun gear 226 b.
- a brake 118 b selectively immobilises the first sun gear 126 b .
- a brake 218 b selectively immobilises the second planet carrier 224 b.
- a clutch 318 b selectively connects the input unit 9 b and the output unit 11 b to each other.
- the two planetary gear trains 123 a, 223 a and the clutch 218 a of the path 8 a are three power sub-paths which are operatively in parallel and activated in turn, between the input element 9 a and the output element 11 a .
- the two planetary gear trains 123 b, 223 b and the clutch 218 b of the second path 8 b are three sub-paths arranged operatively in parallel between the input element 9 b and the output element 11 b .
- Each sub-path is activated and deactivated by the coupling and uncoupling, respectively, of a single coupling means.
- an activator such as 118 , 218 or 318 must simply be disengaged, and another such activator must simply be activated, either in the same path or in the other path.
- a third path could be made up of direct drive between the upper shaft 2 and the lower shaft 3 .
- Paths like 8 a and 8 b can be produced, but even easier to control with just one brake for each local gear ratio, i.e. with no clutches at all. However, as the braked unit would systematically act as a reaction member engaged by another gear unit, there would no longer be a local direct drive gear ratio.
